FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
LAGOS'17 - IX Latin and American Algorithms, Graphs and Optimization 
Symposium

CIRM, Marseille, France.
September 11-15, 2017

About the conference

LAGOS'2017 edition will be special for two reasons: (I) we will 
celebrate the 150th anniversary of two of the most influential 
researchers, colleagues and friends, Jayme Luiz Szwarcfiter (UFRJ, 
Brazil) and Thomas Liebling (EPFL, Switzerland). (II) For this special 
edition, LAGOS Symposium will held in France, a Latin Country which has 
always collaborated with the development of the science in the Latin 
American countries. The previous editions were held in Fortaleza, Brazil 
(GRACO 2001), Santiago, Chile (LACGA 2004), Angra dos Reis, Brazil 
(GRACO 2005), Puerto Varas, Chile (LAGOS 2007), Gramado, Brazil (LAGOS 
2009), Bariloche, Argentina (LAGOS 2011), Playa del Carmen, Mexico 
(LAGOS 2013), and Fortaleza, Brazil (LAGOS 2015). As in previous 
editions, the proceedings of the accepted papers will be published in 
Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics and a special edition of 
Discrete Applied Mathematics will be devoted to selected full papers.

Conference themes

Themes include, but are not limited to, the following AMS classifications:

Algorithms: analysis of algorithms; approximation algorithms; randomized 
algorithms; computational geometry.
Operations Research and Mathematical Programming: combinatorial 
optimization; integer programming; polyhedral combinatorics; operations 
research and management science.
Graph Theory: cliques, dominating and independent sets; coloring of 
graphs and hypergraphs; covering and packing, factorization, matching; 
digraphs, tournaments; graph algorithms; graphs and matrices; 
hypergraphs; perfect graphs; random graphs; structural characterization 
of types of graphs.
Applications: mathematical programming, combinatorial optimization, 
continuous optimization, heuristics, and metaheuristics, applied to 
real-world problems.
